His Love for Cars
What attracted you to cars?
I've had a passion for cars for a very long time. My journey began when my father bought me toy cars. I would play with them all day until I transitioned to remote-controlled cars. I also decorated my room with posters of animated cars like Initial D and Wangan Midnight, along with films like The Fast and the Furious and shows like Top Gear and Motor Trend, which fueled my love for cars.
Car Features
What makes your car special?
Where do I begin? This car has impressive performance right off the production line, but Nissan's engineers fell short in designing the rear! My performance modifications include:
- Motordyne ART pipes
- Invidia Gemini true-dual exhaust
- Tein Flex-Z coilovers
- Voodoo13 rear camber arms
- GT-spec tie bar
Additionally, I have a Stoptech kit that includes Stoptech SS brake lines, high-performance Stoptech slotted rotors, and Motul RBF660 brake fluid.
The car is also equipped with Work CR Kai Kiwami wheels, measuring 18*9.5 +20 for the front and 18*10.5 +22 for the rear.
As for the exterior design, I would say it's somewhat simple, with modifications including a Nismo front lip, Veilside side skirts, and a carbon fiber rear wing. I also removed the rear wing that looked quite ugly.
Future Modifications
What modifications do you plan to make to your car?
As we speak, I have ordered a tsaipe and hood pins, along with a new set of Work Gnosis CV2 wheels, a Whiteline performance bushing kit, and Bride racing seats. I'll also be adding Z1 intake pipes, an internal roll cage, body braces, Hotchkis sway bars, a new Alcantara steering wheel, and a fresh paint job.
Alternative Car
Name a car you could replace your car with:
This is truly the hardest question among all! But after deep consideration, I believe there is one car I could replace it with, and that would be the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (991).
